If she be not so to me, <br />What care I how fair she be? <br /> <br />BY OUR OWN JEROME D. KERN, AUTHOR OF "YOU'RE HERE AND I'M HERE" <br /> <br /> <br />I don't care if a girl is fair <br />If she doesn't seem beautiful to me, <br />I won't waste away if she's fair as day, <br />Or prettier than meadows in the month of May; <br />As long as you are there for me to see, <br />I don't care and you don't care <br />How many others are beyond compare-- <br />You're the only one I like to have around. <br /> <br />I won't mind if she's everything combined, <br />If she doesn't seem wonderful to me, <br />I won't fret if she's everybody's pet, <br />Or considered by all as the one best bet; <br />As long as you and I are only we, <br />I don't care and you don't care <br />How many others are beyond compare, <br />You're the only one I like to have around.<br /><br />Franklin P.
